About Me

I'm a software engineer with an M.S. in Information Systems from Pace University and 6+ years of experience in full-stack development, cloud solutions, and mobile applications. I build scalable systems with Java, C#, PHP, Python, React, and React Native.

My graduate work focused on data science and data-driven problem solving. I apply that to products that need to work in the real world, from AI-assisted care platforms to full-stack applications used by thousands of people.

My experience includes leading development teams, optimizing system performance, and building applications that serve thousands of users. I believe in writing clean, maintainable code and continuously learning new technologies.

ADVANCED ADEQUACY IN CARING FOR THE ELDERLY THROUGH ADVANCES IN TECHNOLOGY

B. Mutwalib
Research Paper
2026
DOI: 10.21125/inted.2026.0211

Abstract

The rising demand for elder care is creating significant challenges for Adult Family Homes (AFH), many of which rely on outdated, labor-intensive manual systems that limit efficiency and compromise resident safety. This paper introduces WakSense, an innovative AI and IoT-enabled platform specifically designed to address the operational, regulatory, and caregiving needs of AFH. WakSense enables real-time monitoring of residents, intelligent medication management, automated care routines, and a digital framework for creating, tracking, and updating Negotiated Care Plans (NCP). The platform also provides advanced caregiver support through job matching, recruitment modules, and tools that assist families in selecting the most appropriate AFH for their loved ones. This study details the system’s technical architecture, identifies current market and workflow gaps, and outlines practical implementation strategies aimed at modernizing care delivery, improving resident safety, and reducing caregiver workload, while promoting greater operational efficiency and compliance across AFH.

Related Project: Blackspot Traffic Monitoring System

Abstract

Motorists may be trained to drive but may forget (if not ignore) to follow road rules. As a consequence, this leads to road accidents. Road accidents contribute a great percentage to the world total fatalities. These accidents are caused mostly by reckless driving through over speeding, wrong overtaking, and wrong parking. On Ugandan roads, there are specific places marked as black-spots due to the number of accidents that have happened in such places and likely to happen in future if care is not taken. An enhanced traffic monitoring system is key to enforcing traffic rules and hence preventing road accidents. In this paper, we describe the architecture and the Implementation of Blackspot Traffic Monitoring system (BSTMS). The BSTMS relies on tensorflow machine learning library to analyze video streams of moving cars. The BSTMS consists of IP cameras configured to capture video streams from the road, and the BSTMS server which analyses each stream for traffic offenses, records a photo evidence of the offense and communicates with the database where users can access processed data. This system is developed at a Ugandan perspective. Keywords: Traffic Monitoring System, enforcing traffic rules
